TPI Intake pictures

I'm looking for some high quality pictures on TPI intakes. Specifically from above the intake downward. Or looking across the top from the throttle body, with the Tuned Port badge readable

I have some pics of my TPI set-up. Hope you like them. I am converting to a 1987 350 TPI set-up this year and have lots of goodies waiting after I rebuild it. Chrome valve covers, polished manifold, fuel rails and runners. Plenum was hand polished by me.

Re: TPI Intake pictures

Was this post made seriously almost 2 years ago with almost no replies?

Man, the hate for TPI is stronger than I thought!

No hate for the nicest looking intake setup in the history of the motorcar:

Re: TPI Intake pictures

What's up with the counterweighted balancer?
external balance with a 1 piece rear seal crank?

That is correct. For some reason, (I'm assuming to keep costs down), Eagle made the crank externally balanced. I talked to the machine shop about doing an internal balance but he said for what I'm doing with motor it would be a waste of money.

I shift at, or shortly after 6000rpm. I brought the balancer and flexplate to the shop to balance in with the rest of the assembly. The highest I spun this motor to was (accidentally thanks to trans) 6900rpm and it was still buttery smooth.
